Wow, that's fantastic Cam!

Squiggoth and howdah looks great. Really creative work from the base model up...

And damn are you a quick worker on these diorama type models - takes me days just to get the base work done, you're already on to the painting stage !

Amazing work I might have to do something similar, I was going to try an elephant but my Daughter has since co-opted the elephant. That Triceratops (since my daughter has that exact one) is a better size now that I see it converted over. (I will buy a new one not steal hers, since after typing that last lien it sounds bad.)

Thanks all.

Getting late so quick update...

Mouth....



Stick for the shooty guy...



Made that up from couple off cuts and a jaw bone sculpt I did earlier...


Please note Zinge Industries excellent rivet strip...

Getting close now so pics later today probably..

@ Theo, you have yet again got me going on something, hope you like it.
@ Gits Thank you as always.
@ Ruglud Thank you and yup when me juices are flowing I am usually on a flyer, of course that leads to issues, but hey ho, Yours are a lot better than my end results I just have lots more of them.
@ Raskana Thank you, yes when I saw this model in a toy shop I thought a couple quid and a couple hours work and I got me a squiggoth, and here I am. Go buy it.

Thank you all for looking and your wonderful support, thoughts appreciated back later with final pics of this puppy.

Looks spectacular! But...I have to add...I'm not a fan of those nicotine yellow teef...the former look had me sold completely ...

Awesome. Paintjob is mega, I also can't believe how realistic that log you sculpted looks!

EDC

Thank you guys.

Here you go Vik...

Finished....




Thank you for looking, Thoughts (and votes) much appreciated...

That's totally ace, Cam. Excellent work. I'd happily expend Leman Russ Vindicator rounds against that beast.

Brilliant! Voted, got the t-shirt.

That deserves a proper display place in your home Cam.

Pretty fantastic, nice work

Superb Cam. That needs a display case.

is that a catachan hidingin the tree trunk?lol...

also...what is that small piece of blue/yellow at the verge of the puddle?...almst looks like a SM helmet?

the whole piece is so packed, it takes ages to digest everything...i showed the non primed bark my wife and she loved it instantly! also...nice to see the teef again in that old looking...look...that tartar look is totally awesome!

if there was just one thing i would have added...it would be drool ...just a bit...

Good job on the Doc and his patient victim. Lots of character to the piece.

And great work finishing off the squigoth thingy. I like the use of road signs in the armour. The gun is a brilliant use of parts. Good job on crafting the bones. And the display base is the perfect finish.

Awesome squiggoth, Cam. Beautiful work as always.

And an awesome base. Winning!

Love it, exalted, voted.

... I want one.

Thank you all so much.

So a bit of my thoughts here.....

I have a very big WAAAAAGH!! to build, it will never be complete. But this year I want to have a table full of boys and wagons and stuff, get some of these silly ideas out of my head and on the table. One of the things is, Clans. They have lost something I think, ORKS are just ORKS now! Weety has it right, the good old days when a WAAAGH! was made of lots of Clans, coming together under one Warlord. Well I am going to go for this feel, and the old fashioned stuff that is in my head and probably not actually Lore, like, Goffs are hard close quarters elites, Badmoons have more teeth and better gear, Bloodaxes mimic imperial guard, with uniforms and looted tanks etc. And there are orks that are just nuts for speed, doesn't have to go boom just go FASTA! But all this is somehow lorded over by the biggest nastiest scariest ORK imaginable. Now as you have seen on my blog if you have been around a while, I have done several Warbosses, these guys will be clan leaders, with an eventual true Warlord to rule them all.

So in that vain I have a whim at this time and with that squiggoth in my blood right now to do a Snakebite Clan. They will be all things wild and Squiggy, going to have some Squig herders, plenty of Squigs, Some wild boys and some boar boys. Going to dig out the rules for a Feral army and use that. This will be an Army in and of itself, but will attach to the larger Waargh! just as the fluff in my head says, they flock to the greatest leaders, but each band is still unique and keeps its distinct self.

Now to the good bit I hope, start in on the Leadership and will go from there on to some Boar boys, and well if he is the leader he needs a ride right!.....



Made like this...took some sprue...

Bulked it out with foam...

Started covering it with Greenstuff....


This will be the Warboss of the Snakebite clans ride so it is the biggest baddest boar going, so is a bit big maybe!

Thank you for your support I hope I don't scare you away and hope you hang around for the ride. There are other projects that will still be going on, my other things like the ORKY Space hulk is still happening, just not boring you with dozens of pics of the same thing over and over, and my Camo marines, I also will get to some IG and some Nids, and got a faint itch for some Chaos, but we will see. Trouble is I get ditracted by things, like DZ at the moment, but that will not take me much time, there is after al only soo much terrain you can have for that, isn't there?

Anyways thoughts welcome see you soon.

Cool. Orks are all greek to me anyway so do as you will, I'll keep popping by to be amazed

That's awesome Cam. Thanks for showing your process on that body.

How you are able to squeeze so much productivity time into your cramped schedule is beyond me...but who are we to complain... such eye candies you provide is with...

Hog looks super already...and I like that clan merger idea too! Spuds fluffy as hell!

Remember how boars are sometimes called Razorbacks? I feel like you should do something with that...

You are a mad, mad Dok. Cam.

Thanks guys, much appreciated, progress...

Started on the head.

So bent some sprue into a frame and melted some PC over it to form a skull-ish..



Possibly a little bit big, but carried on adding some GS...

And completely messed it up, ended up with a bear not a boar, so start again, this time Super Sculpey to the rescue...


Added a little GS...




And just for laughs some scale shots, think I may be a little big, but it will have one of my warbosses on its back so maybe not too big....



Thanks for looking thoughts appreciated muchly....

That's amazing and one big boar! Don't forget the tail.

Is it bad that I went through all 60 pages with the Bob the Builder theme stuck in my head?

That's a big fugging boar, you make the sculpting look easy, great work

@ Squidsy22 I am honoured you sat through it, what ever the theme tune. Probably quite apt!

@ Solar and Grim thank you guys, much appreciated, and I aint stuck his tail on cus I will only break it off, it will go on later.

For now a little work on the Rider and a lick of base paint....



Going to add some armour over some of this, but getting some colour in the deep bits.

Thanks for looking.

Started adding armour...............



And a metal jaw....



Thoughts appreciated...

Oh and I would like to present this art work by my daughter, not really related to this subject, just a proud father.....



Thanks for looking...

er....i am disturbed by the sketch of your daughter...be sure to check her browser history from time to time...
no honestly...very talented work, creepy but very professional looking...seems the family of yours is full of creativity!

also...that jaw...i hear a certain bond theme grunted...

Sorry, haven't been checking everything lately, time and family in the way. The Squiggoth is brilliant, I love the guy hiding in the tree trunk (brilliant idea there ). Loving how the boar is starting out. I think it needs a spring for the tail, like an old mattress box spring welded to the Pigs hindquarter.
